みたけの宿泊宿坊駒鳥山荘 Shukubo Komadori-sanso

Really lovely place. Takes *ages* to get there by public transport from Tokyo, but worth the time. Beautiful location, nice traditional rooms with balconies, kind and helpful staff, amazing food - I paid extra for vegan dinner and breakfast, it was all thoughtful and delicious. You can also visit the shrine for a morning ceremony if you arrange it the night before. Would love to go again.

Such a fantastic experience staying here, I would highly recommend taking the time to stay at least a night on Mt Mitake. The service was phenomenal and the rooms were spacious and excellent. I would recommend getting the dinner, as it was delicious, and there isn't anything open late on the mountain. The Japanese breakfast was great too, and a good way to start the day. The private onsen was also a nice touch and very relaxing after spending time at Mitake. Just note that there are some very uphill areas to get to the accommodation, but it's absolutely worth it.

Fantastic family run guest house passed down from generation to generation. The son of the owners and her wife are running it. The wife studied English in university and have a young son. Amazing people and location, right next to the main shopping/dining street on mistake. Excellent base for hikes in the area.

Incredible stay here. Akemi-san and her family are the most gracious hosts and it was very special to experience winter on mitakesan with the warmth of her hospitality.

Really good remote Ryokan on the top of a famous mountain. Great service and amazing location. You need to take cable car up to the village and have a bit of an uphill walk after, so heavy bags are not a good idea. I’ll go back in the Winter when the snow will make it even more beautiful.

The whole visiting package was just delivered perfectly! From the warm reminder email upon your online reservation to the greeting and room tour when you arrived at the Shukubo. Owner speaks good English, food was the best Kaiseki style, room was warm and comfortable, location close to the shrine and nearby scenery. Definitely worth a second visit!

Location is wonderful, Surroundings divine |Trip is adventurous, Hospitality sublime ||Whether you come to Mitakesan to get close to nature, or God, this place is a great place for a stay. Ideally located right next to the ascent for shrine and all nearby hiking. Ms Akemi and family took great care of us. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared for vegetarians. Lodging amenities were nice and in line with traditional ryokan style. Onsen after a long day of hiking melts the pain away. They also arranged for an early morning ritual at shrine for us. The waterfall ceremony was not available though. Waterfalls themselves are easily accessible with a short but strenuous hike. ||We flew into HND, and managed to do the Shinjuku bus/JR train/shuttle bus/cablecar journey to reach this place without any issues. So don’t be intimidated by the number of transfers. Having less luggage will definitely help. Use hyperdia site to plan travel (although that site doesn’t show the bus to shinjuku option - we used it to save one transfer). ||The place a bit of a hike from Mt Mitakesan train station, so having backpacks only would work best. The pathway is not friendly for rolling luggage.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast is delicious. Rice and miso soup is refillable. Although it is shared bathroom, you could book an hour for you and family to shower. Just got to know the young gen (presume owner) just got married. For the experience i think it is worthy.
